AngloGold restarts Ghana’s Obuasi, targets 350 000 oz/y to 400 000 oz/y

South Africa-headquartered AngloGold Ashanti has achieved its first gold pour at the Obuasi mine – five years after mining activities were suspended in 2014.

The redevelopment project, which seeks to access Obuasi’s 30-million-ounce ore body over the next two decades and beyond, has completed the first phase of construction on time and on budget, the gold major, led by Kelvin Dushnisky, announced on Thursday.
